Unfortunately for policymakers and the public, while the basic
science pointing to a rising human influence on climate is clear, many of the most important questions will remain surrounded by deep complexity and uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of
warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular
places (what
global warming means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).
